Question

factor the expression using the gcf.
the expression $32z - 48$ factored using the gcf is $\square$.

Explanation:

Step1: Find GCF of 32 and 48

Factors of 32: \(1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32\)
Factors of 48: \(1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48\)
GCF is \(16\).

Step2: Factor out GCF from \(32z - 48\)

\(32z - 48 = 16 \times 2z - 16 \times 3 = 16(2z - 3)\)

Answer:

\(16(2z - 3)\)
